Second, the Electrotechnical Laboratory of MITI's Agency of Industrial Science and Technology has also completed detailed specifications for a prototype parallel processing computer that will run a LISPbased language rather than PROLOG. The Electrotechnical Laboratory has already claimed that preliminary simulation tests on a mainframe computer have confirmed that the theoretical basis of the new LISP machine is functionally sound. The research orientation of the Electrotechnical Laboratory differs significantly from ICOT's to the extent it manifests a clear preference for LISP over PROLOG as the machine, language of the logic processor, a preference in which most foreign AI researchers would unequivocally concur. Although PROLOG offers software engineers processing speeds and a certain theoretical elegance which LISP cannot yet rival, LISP is by far the more flexible language for complex knowledge representation and symbolic computation.
